And On Bass...

Last night, I dreamt I was asked to play in a Better Than Ezra cover band. It was a last minute thing, so I ran out and got a bass guitar, since bass is supposedly easier to play than guitar or drums. I had to call BTE's management to get their permission to play our gig. I don't know how it turned out because the next thing I dreamt about was cooking eggs in a kitchen.

And for the record, no, I did not drop acid last night.

Mirror Ball Associates

At only $8.99 (on Amazon), you should download the album Covers Vol. 1 by Mirror Ball Associates. It's a bunch of cover songs performed by Paul Durham (of the band Black Lab) and his friends.

It's kind of a weird mix of songs - it has versions of Paula Abdul's "Opposites Attract," (sidebar: how weird is it that Paula has a thing for an animated cat in the music video?), "If I Only Had a Brain"from Wizard of Oz and a slow version of Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again" which is my favorite track. Like I said, it's a weird mix but the entire album is fun, which is exactly what I expect from a covers album.

PS - it's $9.99 on iTunes but I'm becoming more of a fan of Amazon MP3.

The Price is Right

For anyone that is home sick on Wednesday or owns a TiVO, the episode of The Price is Right that I went to will air on Wednesday morning, February 25. You will be able to spot me in the center section, second row all the way on the right aisle. I think I started high fiving contestants as they "came on down." I'm wearing a maroon shirt and by the end, I started crying because they realized they weren't going to pick me (not really).

Allison Mack. Connected.

So I was reading up on Smallville the other day, which is an awesome show, by the way. We're watching it on Netflix and have 1 disc left in Season 4. (Anyone that posts spoilers in the comments and ruins something for me will have Deathstroke the Terminator sent after you.)

I digress.

So I'm reading up on Wikipedia and clicking around to some of the actors' names, and I come across Allison Mack's entry on Wikipedia. It's a normal page until you get to the bottom and see that she is on every single social networking site. Seriously. You can get in touch with Allison Mack on her official website, via Sodahead, MySpace, YouTube, Facebook, Bebo, Orkut, Friendster (sidebar: people still use Friendster?) and hi5.

I've never even heard of most of these sites, but holy smack! I guess, on one hand, it might be smart because she's protecting her name and preventing impostors from posing as Allison Mack. On the other hand, how in the heck does she keep up with all of them? Probably has a personal assistant. "Hey, make sure you check my Sodahead account first, then my Facebook before you get me coffee."

Blaaaagh

Sadly, I've started another blog. You can follow the adventures of a future librarian over at The Libronicle. I might play around with the layout a bit, but there are a few posts already up.

I'm sorry.

Valentime's Day

Proof I have the greatest girl ever - she wanted to go to KFC for dinner tonight. I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the Earth.

Favorite Comic Fridays - Henry Cho

I'm a noted fan of comedy. What I appreciate even more than a great comedian, is someone who does it clean. I personally don't have a problem with swearing. But I think if you can tell a hysterical joke without resorting to dirty words, it's respectable. I've seen some comedians swear too much and it just ruins the effectiveness of the swear words.

It wasn't until I was 2/3 of the way through his album when I realized not only was it clever and very funny, but he hadn't dropped a single curse word. Hats off to you, Mr. Cho. You made it on to my crummy blog.

Enjoy this clip of Henry on The Late Late Show.
